About the Book

A collection of photographs, Circa documents the timeless surroundings of one Torontonian, who like us the rest of us, walks amidst ghosts.

Disciplined as a child for taking photos of the city rather than her family, we follow the narrator's shunned photography through a hidden scrapbook, kept for decades. From the 1920's through to the mid 1980's -- where it ends abruptly, the collection reveals the silent stories of a growing city through the eyes of an admirer.
